Will we still be able to purchase it through you Per?
NCSX has it up for preorder, but omg $218 for this thing, then the cost of putting better buttons in it. I can’t imagine play-asia’s price being much better when shipping is all said and done.
I think I’ll just stick to modding an SC4 HFS when it gets released. 
We were about to order but it ended so fast. When it comes up again at Hori we will order faster. We even made this:

Hope we will use it sometime soon lol ^_^.
:mad: WTF, looks like I won’t be picking up one.
The version that’s already out is only $60 and this is 218? fuck that.
Hori says they will accept new orders after July 10th…
NCSX just put up preorders for the HRAP EX:
EDIT: I’m late 
ouch, so expensive, even from the hori store, it’s the most expensive HRAP :mad: and doesn;'t even have sanwa buttons like the SA,anyway i’ll try to get a HRAP case some where and put a 360 PCB in it :woot:
Damn, they sell it for 23400yen (218.90 US$) incl shipping or excl shipping?
Akishop price would have been 22845yen incl EMS to USA (and even cheaper if you order more sticks).
If anybody wants to get one we will try after July 10th, then Hori will sell it again they say.
When would you need the money by Per? I want to get 2. Now all I have to do is sell my DOA and VF5 sticks… vanishes to Trading Outlet
We will tell people when to pay. As soon as we know the date we will put it up in the shop. Also, 10% off on arcade parts when buying a stick.
If I have trouble getting a stick from Play Asia or if they are terribly expensive shipped from them, then I will probably be looking to buy from you from the second batch (along with some buttons and an LS-32-01 if the stick can take it
Why is the hori ex2 $60 but this new stick 218?
It has an HRAP2 layout and has a Sanwa JLF. Plus not a lot of people have Xbox 360s in Japan so they want to push the cost up to make up for smaller install base. Funny thing is that the stick is already sold out. Talk about a smaller install base lol.
Hopefully this stick will have the same mounting plate as the HRAP so we could mount Seimitsu sticks on there.
horistore info was updated saying hori still keep some EXs for July 10th sale.
they don’t accept pre-orders for it, so anyone interested just go and buy it on July 10th.
and they are talking abot 2nd butch as well.
i guess it will take a few month from now, so on sale in late August or September.

I would love me some “Butch”.
On another note, I sure would love one of these, I wonder how hard it will be to be able to secure one thru the dealers and not have to get it from SRK trade with a 30% price increase.
Any chance of this being released in the us at a lower price? lol I know wishful thinking.
probably not. Your best option is probably to just get a custom for about the same price as the HRAP 360 or just pay someone to mod an EX2 with a Sanwa JLF/Seimitsu LS-33 and Sanwa buttons.
They should release it here. They keep re-releasing the EX2 with different art instead of just releasing this stick.
This is the year of the FG give us something good that we could play FGs on…
